-----------------
Tetrax had been staring (though it bordered on glaring) at the chimera's back for several hours now. He'd knocked at the door, coughed, and even called her name. Myaxx had only waved absently at him, not even bothering to look at him as she muttered something akin to being almost finished.
And normally he would have left her to her own devices, the way she would him whenever he was in the training room or engaged in planning out counter-offers for job negotiations. But she'd been wrapped up with this project of hers for weeks now and, well, he was starting to miss her attention.
He squared his shoulders (more so than usual) and marched into the room. His footfalls were heavy, and intentionally loud. Still, his presence didn't seem to register with the chimera.
He placed a hand on her shoulder, "Myaxx, you really-" And was immediately greeted with the butt of a blaster smashing into his face.
"What are you-! Oh! Shard! It's you," Myaxx blinked in surprise.
"Yes, it's me," He grimaced.
"You shouldn't have been sneaking up on me," She huffed, placing her blaster back into its holster.
"I wasn't."
"Fine, I apologize for hitting you. Now if you don't mind, I'm in the middle of something," She sighed and turned her seat towards her experiment.
Tetrax grabbed the chair's backrest and swiveled both chair and chimera round to face him. "Just what is so important about that thing that you can't give me an hour's worth of your time?"
"When did my scientific pursuits become such a big deal to you? It's not like I'm building another omnitrix or a cheap knock-off. What I do on my own time is none of your business," She snarled.
"It is when it interferes with mine."
The chimera rose to her feet, "I pay for the materials and energy fuels to run the lab. I shoulder the costs for repairs whenever my experiments go awry. I don't see how it can possibly interfere with your work."
"I'm not talking about work business," he grumbled, "I meant personal business."
Crimson eyes widened in understanding as a rather cruel smirk appeared on the chimera's lips. "I have a great deal of things on my mind right now, Shard. You're going to have to be more specific."
"You know what I mean," Tetrax sighed, finally adding, "Squishy."
Myaxx snickered, "Fine. An hour then. Your quarters or mine?"
"Yours. Gluto's been complaining about the noise."
